A car gives you the freedom to see more than what public transportation allows.

Copenhagen is Scandinavia's most densely populated city with 800,000 residents in the municipality and 1.3 million in the metropolitan area. Nørreport, Vesterbro, and Frederiksberg are popular residential areas near the city center, and the ring roads E20 and E47 provide quick access to the rest of Denmark. Avoid driving in central Copenhagen during rush hour – parking is expensive and limited.
